My gums used to bleed when i flossed and it used to hurt pretty bad after i flossed. But i continued with flossing after i brushed my teeth and i use listerine too. Now my gums dont hurt after and dont bleed after. It feels really good actually having clean teeth. It try to take care of them as best as i can. I do not want dentures early in my life.

Speak with your dentist i could also be something else causing the bleeding.

Many people while brushing their teeth realizes their gums start to bleed, it might not hurt but the blood just starts glushing. This problem occurs because you have something call "RED GUMS" and this usually occurs because your gums could be easily damage because its soo sensitive and the cure for this is to use more tooth paste or brush lightly and then rinse with warm water. Hope that helped many people with this problem.

my gum is bleeding everytime i brush and i can't help it and i dont' think using more toothpaste would help but i would try flossing.

I'm not sure...but I think that the gums start to bleed because 1. you have brushed to hard 2. you got sensitive gums byt that it means that your gums...are dirty. So if you know that the problem isn't that you brush too hard..then try to brush the gums everyday even though it bleeds. Eventually they will stop bleeding.

You need to go dentist and get them to clean your teeth. I used to bleed everytime I brush my teeth. Dentists tells me we need to get our teeth cleaned/washed at least once a year! After I had my teeth cleaned, I stopped bleeding whenever i brushed my teeth. I will go back there later this year and get it cleaned again.

its usually a sign that ur teeth/gums are dirty and so your gums are extra sensitive because of the gunk...my brother had to get a root canal because his situation was more serious, pretty much cleaned out everything

if you dont want to put yourself through dental torture and financial torture, i suggest u simply start brushing ur teeth lightly, but more often, lay off the sugary drinks, and floss your teeth more...if your gums are swolen, then its probably the first sign that your gums/teeth need more cleaning

Should'a consult your dentist or even GP if that happens cos that's kinda abnormal to normal people. Either there's problem with your gums, or the way you brush and the brush type you used is incorrect...

I your gums bleed when you brush it, it means you have gingivitis. This is a gum disease. It is caused by improper brushing and not flossing. Flossing is important because it gets rid of the food stuck inbetween. If you don't floss you are neglecting 25% of your teeth. Gingivitis can cause your teeth to fall out if left untreated.

when you brush it, do not plane the tooth brush right on the teeth, youre suppose to brush at a 45degrees angle. (saw it on a poster at the dentist) and dont brush so hard. To test if youre brushing too hard or too light, try this: place the toothbrush on your wrist and then brush lightly until it feels correct.

ok this is bad cus mine bleeds not only when i brush my teeth , but when i chew on food as well. and i havent been to the dentist since i was a kid , and im now 19 ... trip to the dentist soon i guess.
